We had a lovely evening! The customer service was great - happy to help and service with a smile. We had Christmas cocktails which were delicious and well presented. The food was incredible, meat melted in your mouth, everything flavoured to perfection. Definitely want to return!

So, firstly they got three pre-booked orders wrong, that were delivered in writing the day before.Several dishes arrived cold, one with hair on it visible as can be.Steaks were the grade below, if you asked for medium rare you got rare. From a steakhouse?! Thankfully I like rare but wasn't feeling it.It took over an hour for our drinks to arrive at the table after they had delivered them to the wrong one. The server was also snappy with me when pointing out they hadn't arrived, she insisted she had dropped them off and I had to say not to us. Thankfully the gent behind the bar made replacements for the restaurants error.The organisation. If you have a table of 12 on a Saturday you might want more than just two bar staff for the whole venue, whoever runs this place, should not. They do not understand staffing, if it's a HO issue, the company does not which is worse.The efforts to correct the multitude of errors were nothing but the bare minimum from the duty manager, the actual manager was not to be seen. That's not to say they weren't pleasant to interact with, but it wasn't enough and hence this review.Children screaming well past 21:00 in fact being the reason we promptly left at 22:15. It's literally illegal for them to be there at that time thanks to the alcohol being served. As far as I'm aware latest license that allows children is 22:00. They would not stop screaming and there were no efforts from the restaurant to factor how this effected other guests.I cannot fault any of the servers, they are the only reason I didn't refuse to pay more than 50%. And I was close to that point, I've lived in this city my entire life, been to most restaurants it offers, heck review them regularly, and this was by far the biggest letdown Vs price I've had since Nightingales started watering down their spirits.If they want a better review, they need to really up their game and give me a reason to return as right now, it's nothing but an avoid.If by some chance the manager reads this, you need to put in a lot more effort especially given your location, you're setting yourself up to fail having a place ran like this. Chefs should know steak grading, staffing should be adequate, drinks should never take over an hour and there should never be issues with the food itself.I will give one point, I didn't have an allergic reaction so they are at least gluten safe.

Tommy and the server with curly hair did a super good bottomless brunch for us. The server with blonde hair and glasses couldn't have cared less. We were the only table in the restaurant and still had to get up and find someone to take our food order after almost 30 mins :/

Very nice staff and great fast service. I had the brisket burger and it was quite small and pretty ordinary. Prices are quite high. Nice atmosphere.

Noisy when busy - hard acoustics. At breakfast, coffee machines running out of choice by 9am. Staff friendly tho. Later... no Fever Tree. Uncivilised..

The restaurant is clean and was very quiet. Staff seemed unsure whether lunch started eventhough I was there at 12pm. The service was ok and I appreciate the effort to check up on if the food was good. The food was nice and the prices was reasonable. I felt like the the korean chicken wings were barbecque wings and too much sauce and the brownie had a lot of toffee sauce and could have done with more ice cream but otherwise good portion sizes. Also I liked the idea of the butchers block showing the specials.

Went for dinner and drinks very recently at B+B exchange. Staff and management were very attentive. Had mac and cheese bites to start which were cooked very nicely. For mains we had the steak sampler which consists of 4oz fillet, sirloin and rump with chips and choice of sauce. All 3 steaks were cooked beautifully and the fact you get 3 cuts I think gives a nice variety to what you are eating. All perfectly seasoned. I would recommend going between the hours of 5pm-8pm as you are able to take full advantage of their 2-4-1's on cocktails! Cocktail list itself is quite extensive meaning that everybody should be able to find a drink that suits them. Atmosphere of both the bar and restaurant gives off a cosy yet sociable feeling. Would recommend Bar and Block Exchange to everybody and will definitely be dining here again in the near future.

Took my mum before we went to see a show in the city. Fantastic food! I had the butchers bangers and they were cooked beautifully! 10/10 for the food !They also offered an entire menu for cocktails that went down a treat.Service by Lorena and Alex was incredible and will for sure be back again

Returned once again after several great experiences previously. Went around 5pm, wasn’t too busy but service was fantastic with Lorena as our main server food. Both food and drinks came in a timely menu and we were consistently checked back upon. The cocktails had a great extensive menu so tried the French Martini and Bakewell which were delightful. My main the spiral cut steak was wonderful and well cooked alongside the Brownie for dessert. Overall would recommend and will be back soon
